Newsflash: Question about the Georgia Real Estate State Licensing Exam

I’m 18 years old and looking to get my real estate license, I completed my schooling online through the Georgia MLS Training Institute. I passed my school exam already. I am curious if taking the cram course is a must to pass the state exam though. The cram course is all booked until December and I am eager to get my license sooner. I know the school exam is the same format(4 hours 152 questions) as the state exam but is the content similar? I’ve heard the state exam is a lot harder but that was all from people who took it years ago who said the school exam was super easy. I feel like they might have made them more similar now. If anyone could give me some insight I’d be appreciative!
